Shy Carla Holt is a weaver of tales, romantic stories that fulfil her dreams and allow her to escape reality. Yet her publishing success does little to dispel her growing sexual frustration, and a sense of inadequacy fostered by a rather superior boyfriend. Carla, however, is soon commissioned to ghost-write the biography of the world famous tenor, Angelo Lorenzo, about whom she has often fantasised. She tracks him down to a secluded villa in the Greek islands, and finds that fantasy becomes reality on the Isle of Desire
